Hello guys, welcome back to Amolipi channel, where

The main character of our video today is actor Colin Farrell.
Irish actor Colin James Farrell was born in the Castleknock suburb of Dublin,
Ireland on May 31, 1976. Farrell's accomplishments as an actor are recognized the world over thanks
to a distinguished career of nearly twenty-plus years in film and television. He has had worldwide
success for roles in films such as Minority Report, In Bruges, Phone Booth and S.W.A.T.
Colin James Farrell is the son of Eamon Farrell and Rita Farrell. His father played football
for Shamrock Rovers FC and ran a health food shop. He has an older brother named
Eamon Jr. and two sisters named Claudine, who now works as his personal assistant, and Catherine.
Farrell was inspired to try acting when Henry Thomas' performance in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
(1982) moved him to tears. With his brother's encouragement, he attended the Gaiety School
of Acting, but dropped out when he was cast as Danny Byrne in the BBC drama Ballykissangel.
Farrell has been linked to a number of notable women. He dated actress and singer Amelia Warner
and was seen on numerous occasions with singer Britney Spears, model Nicole Narain, model Josie
Maran, and actresses Angelina Jolie and Demi Moore throughout the early to mid-2000s. Farrell also
dated Irish medical student Muireann McDonnell and British-American writer Emma Forrest.
In 2003, he had a son, James, with model Kim Bordenave.
James was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. In October 2009,
Farrell fathered his second son, Henry Tadeusz, with Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curuś,
his Ondine co-star. The actor currently resides in Los Angeles with his two sons.
After his success with BBC drama Ballykissangel, Farrell made his film debut in the drama film
The War Zone (1999), and was discovered by Hollywood upon taking the lead role in the
war drama film Tigerland (2000). He went on to establish his international box office appeal
with the thriller films Phone Booth (2003), S.W.A.T. (2003), and The Recruit (2003). During
that time, he also appeared in Steven Spielberg's sci-fi thriller Minority Report (2002) and the
superhero film Daredevil (2003). In addition to getting further attention in the film industry,
these roles also helped Farrell earn a spot-on Company Magazine's "Sexiest Man" list.
One of his first truly critically-acclaimed roles came in 2008 with his starring role in
director Martin McDonagh's film, In Bruges. For his performance, Farrell won his first Golden
Globe Award, and later was nominated a second time in 2015 for Yorgos Lanthimos' The Lobster.
The following years saw Farrell starring in more blockbuster films,
though he continued taking roles in independent pictures as well. Farrell played Percival Graves
in the Harry Potter spin-off film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016). In 2020,
he was listed at No. 5 on The Irish Times' list of Ireland's greatest film actors. The actor has
been cast as Oswald Cobblepot / The Penguin in The Batman, which is set for a 2022 release.
Here are the 10 best movies starring Colin Farrell, according to Rotten Tomatoes:
Colin Farrell’s work on the screen has helped him garner quite a bit of money,
with his net worth raking in at around $90 million as of 2021.
Farrell owns homes in Dublin and Los Angeles. He recently sold his Hollywood Hills home,
which he bought back in 2014 for $4.3 million, for $1.3 million. An English country-style abode, the
2,736-square-foot house features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, glass windows with canyon views,
as well as a wood-burning fireplace nestled in a living room with vaulted ceilings.
Farrell is also a proud owner of fourteen apartments worth $9 million near Spencer Dock,
Dublin, Ireland. Like
many young kids growing up on the Emerald Isle, Farrell’s big ambition was to
become a professional footballer. Both Farrell’s uncle and father played for the Shamrock Rovers
Football Club, which explains the actor’s drive to join the family business and go pro.
After his first son, James, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, which is characterized by
some by developmental delays and seizures, Farrell became a spokesperson for the condition and
helps raise funds in support of families who also have children living with the syndrome.
From evil wizards to futuristic spies, Colin Farrell has been all over Hollywood.
Farrell is another actor who does not need a fancy car to live in happiness.
This actor has been spotted multiple times driving around in an old Ford Bronco. He is said to have
bought the car for $11,000. Farrell may have bought a cheaper car to try to avoid his fans, but
he does not really have a history of being annoyed by his fans. Even when you are rich and famous,
sometimes driving around an old beater and saving a ton of money is better than worrying
about wrecking a multi-million-dollar car. So how do you think about him? Leave a comment
